Hi guys,
When playing the ps4 wired with a cat7 ethernet cable i keep occasionally getting a nat type failed come up. It originally used to happen on party chat where the mic icons would just flash and say cannot connect due to nat, i would have to leave and re enter a party for it to work or turn the geo filter to spectating which as you can imagine is an annoyance. All my friends are set to allow also. Originally i thought it was because i had a double nat before but it seems to still exist even after sorting that issue. It will randomly cut me off mid game and display network error due to Nat. Before owning the XR500 this would never be a issue
Anyone have any advice? When the nat type error happens my phone still works on internet etc through wifi. Does this sound like a faulty router?

Does Anyone Know What causes this to pop up all the time in game and then the game sometimes skips or it's like I'm seconds behind what's actually going on when it pops up. Does anyone know how to potentially fix it?

Hi All.
It has been a while since i played some online gaming, I decided to jump on fortnite for a change and I can not remember how to get chat working?
The ingame chat doesn't work i think its a problem woth the GEO FILTER but im unsure and I can not remember how I used to get it to work but im pretty sure is a problem on the southern not with the ps4 or psn.

Hello I got issues with my two ps4 at the same network. But at heard my brother who's using the second ps4 on the ps4 vocal chat.
I have already tried open port recommends on the PlayStation website and also try use DMZ
FYI : the ps4 vocal chat is p2p

To everyone and anyone with ANY knowledge of DumaOS and the nighthawk XR300, help a fellow gearhead out! Brief backdrop of my current situation. Just purchased a CM700 modem and an XR300 pro gaming router to escape xfinitys stronghold and limitations. I’ve always had an issue with xfinitys hardware! All their modems/routers were “defective” which resulted in poor connection, multiple techs sent out to my home, constant device swaps. So I took the initiative to escape that misery. I was so anxious for my new hardware. Tried optimizing settings on DumaOS but no luck! I game on a PS4 Pro which is hardwired to the XR300. I live in Illinois. I mostly play Fortnite. ISP is Xfinity/150MBPs. My issue is, Geo filtering doesn’t work. Ping is high 30’s. Before I was getting 20-23. . When I try to configure settings via Geo Filter I’m shown “Nil 2.5” “Nil” with an adjustable bar. And under that “Nil” with a checkmark. I pinned geo filter to my dashboard to monitor my ping and it doesn’t measure my latency/ping, for example I should be shown “12ms”, instead it’ll indicate “Nil”, no actual values. Someone, anyone, help! I purchased these for the sake of optimizing performance! I feel like I’m not getting the most out of my new hardware! Also, if anyone can suggest specific configurations/settings, it would greatly be appreciated! This is all very new to me! Thank you to you all in advance! Looking forward to your replies!

Recently, when I play PS4 (usually on Xbox) my Nat type becomes “Type 2” no matter how many ports I forward to, no matter what I do, it stays moderate. I even tried GEO Filtering, yet, it stays moderate. Any help?

Hi I have a XR500 and the firmware is V2.3.2.40 I have no voice chat during games or lobbys.
I have UNuP enabled, geo filter set to South Australia and 2500 KM so the radius is around the whole country.
I have tried disabling SIP ALG, using dns 8.8.8.8/8.8.4
4 and mtg 1473 (worked on my old router but that's stuck in bridge mode and between the wall and netgear) I also tried dns 1.1.1.1/9.9.9.9 and no luck.
I have tried almost everything I can find online but noting works.
Was hoping some one knows a fix to this issue?
Cheers P.

Yo DumaFam!
Just wondering if there's any remedies to a couple issues I've ran into after bridging my ISP modem router to the XR500 that weren't there before.
First issues is that I can now no longer access my ISP modem/router GUI. I actually managed to do it the other night but forgot how I did it lol, had something to do with changing a WAN IP or Gateway IP to my ISP Default Gateway IP on the XR500...******FIXED ISSUE ONE*******
Second issue is when I do a connection test on PS4 I get this pop up message now that says "The router in use might not support IP Packet Fragmentation, and some network features of the PS4 might be restricted." Usually that appears when I've adjusted the MTU too low but I haven't changed anything :/ ******FIXED ISSUE TWO, SORT OF***** I don't get the message if I lower the MTU in the XR500 from 1492 to 1491 and below., any ideas why that works?
Also getting 100% Packet Loss now...******Image below still occurring. Unable to ping any servers, transmit failed etc******

I have five consoles. All running full bore. Why can't I add a fifth device to be able to be under the geo filter? Will I ever be able to use more than four devices within the geo filter? What can I do to get it to work? Will this limitation ever be resolved?

Well. Looks like Astro Gaming have moved into the console controller market. Here is a link for their new C40 TR controller for the PS4 and PC. Hope they bring a model out for the XBOX1.

I installed the new DumaOS Development Milestone 1.3 on the R1 and since then the console disconnects from LAN while I play on my console.
After setting up my QoS, when I start to play online Street Fighter V Arcade Edition on my PS4 Pro, Playstation shows a message that it's disconnected from the LAN. The same message appears in loop until I reboot the NetDuma R1 and l restart the PS4 Pro/video game. Once the router and the console are up, I can play without any disconnection.

Hello
I am new to the forum and this is my first time setting up a router.
I am having an issue with the ping on the netgear xr500. I attempted to install it with the DM200 but that was unsuccesful, so i have resorted to using the sky router and having the XR500 in the DMZ with wireless turned off (the sky router has no modem mode hence why i purchased the DM200).
My ping has increased from around 25m/s to 45m/s. I have placed my PS4 in a DMZ and tried port forwarding and upnp (not all at the same time, seperately. I have also changed DNS servers, used the geofilter and QOS as described on the forums). I have attached a traceroute of me contacting the ea servers but i am struggling to understand what it means. Can anyone see what my issue may be?.

Hello Support team,
I am having issues with my Nighthawk XR450 dropping the internet connection daily for the 3rd day in a row. I have the Nighthawk connected directly to an Arris Surfboard SB 6190 and have all my devices connected to it directly through CAT 7 ethernet cables. Divices include older PC, PS4, and Amazon Fire TV, not to mention several wifi devices, mostly our 2 mobiles. Based upon some of the other support topics I'm wondering if it might be because I leave my PS4 in sleep mode and after reading other posts have learned that it maybe a common issue that might be resolved with a firmware update. If that is the case can someone please provide me with that firmware if not what might you suggest. My internet connection has been working fine when I connect directly to the modem. Thus far I have been disappointed with the router due too connectivity issues and lag, anything that you can suggest to help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Just purchased and set up my new xr700 two days ago. Since then my PS4 keeps losing connection, saying "lan cable not connected". I have set up QoS as recommended, I've added the PS4 as a static address, and have configured geo-filter as recommended. Every hour or so, it kicks me offline saying "lan cable not connected". I've tried on wifi and it does the same thing, kicks me out of online games. This is making destiny 2 absolutely unplayable for me. I've used an apple airport for years and it never gave me any issues. These issues only started after I set up this new router.

Hi guys,
I have a 20mb/20mb fibre connection and I'm trying to watch twitch on my PS4, but for some reason it keeps buffering and just doesn't seem to use the full network speed available.
My prioritisation is just normal as I use it for gaming.
Anti-Bufferbload is 90%/60% and set to detect high priority traffic.
I tested streaming on my laptop, phone and through chromecast, everything works without buffering or significant frame dropping.
Could anyone please suggest a solution?

As right now i can see games like:
Uncharted 4
Destiny
Destiny 2
Last of us
Halo: master chief collection
Halo 5
Titanfall 2
These games dont work well with the Geo-filter, they either kick you out of the match or wont even connect to a game, Uncharted 4 has major issues it creates lag.

I can't get any US servers to come up on my PS4. EU only. If I turn off geofilter it works but I lag really bad. Anti-Bufferbloat is set to 70%. Tried port forwarding with geofilter on and nothing changed. Help appreciated.

Hi there, netduma users in Thailand here.
Currently there is no servers around my location and somehow the game won’t let me connect to p2p servers. It is not that there are no people in my area as I tested joining some random indian friens and still be able to join and play. But matchmaking is the problem. I always ended up spend time in matchmaking lobby forever and unable to find match. I try to use filtering which it works fine in ww2 and filter area to be in Australian servers.
Netduma display that there are servers in australia but it still take forever to find a lobby as matchmaking won’t allot me to join any server.
My filtering setting is optimal. I have strict mode ticked, my ping assist is 0.
It only doesn’t work in this game
Please help

Good companions Duma army!!
wanted to ask you about whether it is possible to use keyboard and mouse on PS4 and play CoD.
if it is possible,Can you use a mouse and a normal keyboard? or it has to be a keyboard and a specific mouse?
Greetings and thanks to everyone who answers and helps me.
